Trini took a deep breath. She stood on an ancient, yet sturdy
brick wall.
She saw at the far end of the building, a wide oval shaped hole.
There was a
iron board across the hole. Fire burned from the oval gap in the floor.
The fire of Death, the only substance in all the universe that can
kill
Victoria. Mom said that others have tried to kill her and they never
made it
out of here alive. I hope I will. If I don't, then at least she'll
die with
me.

" Are you ready to die?" Victoria asked. Trini looked down and
saw her
opponent.

" No, that's not it at all. This won't be fair. I've been here
millions
of times, you haven't."

" You have limited power here, Victoria. Since when are you
concerned
with fairness."

" Have it your way, Yellow Ranger."

" That name only gives me pride, Victoria. It doesn't hurt me that
I
don't have the power anymore. When I had it, I defended."

" Too bad. Where are you going to find the will to fight? Anger is
the
best source."

Trini narrowed her eyes and clenched her teeth. " My spirit."

Trini leapt off the wall; she rolled in the air and landed on her
feet.
She held her sword in front of her. Trini grasped the hilt tightly.
Victoria
swung her sword, Trini blocked it with her blade. " Hiyaa!" The
battle had
begun.

Trini ducked and slashed her sword. Victoria blocked her move.
Trini
blocked Victoria's kick. Victoria's blows were becoming forceful.
Trini kept
backing up. Trini hit a wall. She was cornered. She leapt over
Victoria and
Victoria spun around, blocking Trini's sword. Their swords clashed as
they
moved to the middle of the building. Victoria's sword slashed at
Trini's
feet. Trini jumped, avoiding the blow.

Victoria charged up her sword with her powers, and slashed Trini's
blade.
Trini looked at her hilt and her blade on the floor, disintegrating.
Trini
threw the hilt down and ran. She ran up a wall and leapt, kicking
Victoria in
the neck. The sword flew out of Victoria's hands. Trini ran to get the
weapon. Energy shot out of Victoria's hands and disintegrated the
weapon.

Trini turned to face her foe. " You think you can handle hand to
hand
combat?"

Victoria growled. A sword appeared in her hand. " I cheat just
for you."

Trini's eyes narrowed dangerously. She's using up her power. A
few
more shots and she'll be powerless. Your Anger will be my best
source
for your downfall. " Is that the best you can do?"

Trini back flipped away from the wall. She took a Kung Fu stance.
She
dragged one of her feet in back of her other leg and jumped high. She
stood
on Victoria's arms. She slid a foot underneath an arm and back flipped,
sending Victoria to the ground. Victoria got up instantly and slashed
Trini's
arm. Trini landed hard on her feet; She felt a sharp pain. My
foot's
broken!

" How do you like that?" Trini felt blood pouring out of the
gash. She
grasped the wound with her hand. Trini rolled. She got up, placing
all her
weight on one leg. Victoria shot at her with her powers. Trini jumped
out of
the way. Trini clenched her teeth, trying to dull the pain. Trini ran
up the
wall, the best she could.

With all the will power she could summon, Trini fought the pain ib
her arm
and leg. She swung up her arms and leapt off the wall. She knocked
Victoria
onto the iron board. She punched her enemy.

Victoria threw Trini further up the board. The board shook as Trini
crashed.
Trini felt blood drip from her forehead. She couldn't move her left
arm; it
had cracked.
It's fractured! Trini breathed in rhythmically to control the
anguish.

Victoria hovered over her beaten enemy. Trini swung her bleeding
arm at
Victoria's sword. The sword fell into the fire. Trini's lungs choked
on
smoke. She felt her mind drifting to unconsciousness. She willed
herself to
stay awake.

Victoria picked up Trini. She laughed victoriously. " The first
thing
I'm going to do when I get out of here is kill Billy. Then I'll go to
your
mother and father. Then I'll destroy the Morphing Grid and leave your
friends
and your planet helpless!" She threw Trini into the fire.

Trini grabbed a metal bar sticking out of the iron bridge. She
swung her
fractured arm around the bar. Victoria's laugh rang in her ears. She
was
weak. Nearly close to death. How could she beat her? Then she
thought of
Billy and how much she loved him. She thought of her parents, Alex,
Adam,
Zordon, Alpha and all the rest of the Rangers. She couldn't let them
down.

Summoning the last ounce of her strength, Trini pushed off her
bleeding
arm and flung herself toward Victoria. " There's a flaw in your plan
Victoria! I'm not dead yet!"

With her good leg she kicked Victoria's head. Her nemesis fell
into the
fire. Trini plummeted downward. She bounced off the iron board and
rolled
off the other side. Her heart was barely beating. I give my life
for
others and those who have died. She felt the torrid heat of the
fire and
thought of all those dear to her, as she fell to her death.
